Mini Axial Flow Propeller Turbine Demonstration Unit

The unit consists of axial flow propeller turbine with a dynamometer, a water storage tank, a low head high flow centrifugal pump, an interface box and input power sensors and software. The turbine fixed guide vanes direct water to the runner. The interface box includes power supply to the sensors and motor, and a computer interface unit. Mini Axial Flow Propeler Turbine Demonstration Unit is a self contained mini axial flow propeller turbine for studying the turbine characteristics with data analysis by computer. It also provides interface ports to sensors and computer. The unit is to be used with a computer.
